Today I got the results of my latest CT scan from my
oncologist today. My tumors remain
stable. In fact, they have not changed
meaningfully since I started my latest round of pemetrexed chemotherapy last
August. Now, 12 infusions later, I got
down on my knees and begged my doctor to let me take a chemo break. Pulling out his whip, he yelled, “No and get
back in that chair.”
Not really. He
thought it would be fine to take a break and come back for a CT in mid-July to
see how things stand. He is an
outstanding doctor and an outstanding person.
It is a great pleasure to have him as my oncologist, and I’m especially
pleased that he tolerates my questions and responds in ways that respect my
intelligence.
